The mixer has 10 speed settings and comes with a pouring shield to keep messes contained.AmazonAs someone who regularly covers appliances, one product I think every home needs is a KitchenAid stand mixer. It’s a kitchen workhorse — it mixes, yes, but it also makes baking and food prep easier and faster, and it’s compatible with a ton of attachments that give you the ability to make pasta, ice cream and more. Right now, it’s $150 off at several retailers.
Read on to see why it has nearly 21,000 perfect ratings on Amazon alone, and why you’ll want to scoop it up before the holidays officially begin.

It significantly reduces the amount of time you’d usually spend mixing batters and doughs by hand or with an electric hand mixer — plus, you don’t end up with a sore bicep at the end. And customers agree. One Amazon reviewer who said they waited decades for theirs wrote, “This isn’t merely a mixer on a stand, this is a valuable machine that does most of the work.” They later said in an update to their review that they “can’t imagine myself ever going back to the hand mixer.”
The mixer has 10 speed settings and comes with multiple attachments, including a dough hook, wire whisk, paddle and a pouring shield, which prevents powdery foods, such as flour and confectioner’s sugar, from flying everywhere when you add it to the 5-quart, stainless steel bowl. As its name implies, the top of the mixer tilts back, making it easier to add ingredients in between mixes. Plus, the bowl, dough hook and paddle attachment are all dishwasher safe.
The KitchenAid stand mixer comes with a one-year limited warranty and works with other separately sold attachments, including a pasta maker, ice cream makerand vegetable spiralizer — all of which are on sale. It’s on sale just before all the holiday cookie preparation and family meals takes over your kitchen, and it’s the perfect gift for someone who loves to cook or bake, even if that person is you.
